Unedited Quotes (3T)

Taryll Jackson @tarylljackson
I am shocked that things have gotten this far. This is ridiculous. I was at the studio when these questionable files were delivered. I heard these “so-called” Michael Jackson songs raw and without the distraction of the well produced music by Teddy Riley. How they constructed these songs is very sneaky and sly. many people who have worked on this project either have strong doubts and questions while others KNOW the truth yet decided to turn and look the other way with their hands out for $$$. I will NEVER look the other way. Right is Right, Truth is Truth, Facts are Facts and it will all come out!!! I tried so hard to prevent this craziness, but they wouldn’t listen. I KNOW my Uncle’s voice and something’s seriously wrong when you have immediate FAMILY saying it’s not him. Don’t you have to wonder why? I have strong, undeniable points. They can’t give me answers, yet continue to move forward with lies and deception. Sounding like Michael Jackson and BEING Michael Jackson are two different things.

to all the mj fans. regarding the song “breaking news” i am so sorry you have to deal with this. my uncle loved you so much and would not want it this way. However there are songs that ARE my uncle singing on the upcoming album and I will support those 100% But I will not support “Breaking News” and a few others because it simply is not him. They tried to fool me and they tried to fool you. I told them it would never happen.

If you question the validity of a professional photo you can ask the photographer for more pictures from that photo shoot. If it is authentic the photographer will turn over different shots. Some with different poses, some even with eyes closed. I questioned the validity of the vocal’s on “breaking news” and several other songs of theirs that I’ve heard and they told me no other takes or tracks exist. They claim my uncle was so happy with the performance he instructed them to delete all the other files. I had the honor to learn and watch my uncle record my entire life and that is NOT how he worked. No outtakes, no other tracks, no backups, no proof. roughly 10 songs they turned in. same story for all of them. I asked for the computer it was created on… they said it broke. I asked for the original hard drive… they said it was destroyed. One dubious excuse after another.

We are still waiting for confirmation that the statement yesterday by Howard Weitzman (on behalf of the estate) is real and official. There are many blatant inaccuracies and omissions which makes me think it is not. I’m waiting on a phone call or the statement to be posted on an official site (such as michaeljackson.com) before I respond.

In regards to the statement, I tried calling Howard’s cell but couldn’t reach him. (I wanted to hear from him directly). After calling his office, somebody confirmed that the statement did come from Howard. As I said before, there are many inaccuracies and omissions in that statement. For one, I was also in that meeting and that was not the outcome. Saying that, I don’t want to go into further details and take away from the attention “Hold My Hand” truly deserves. You will hear my story because this is way too important for my Uncle’s legacy. The truth will prevail.

When I listen to “Hold My Hand” so many memories come to my mind. I think about some of the most treasured qualities. loyalty, unity and love. One of his favorite moments on stage was performing “I’ll Be There”.he said, “when they turn the lights on you can see the crowd swinging their arms, singing along. it’s like a sea of love. It doesn’t matter what country, it’s the same all around the world.” Please listen to the message. Hold My Hand… I will forever.

“Much Too Soon” – At a very early age my Uncle taught me to appreciate and study all types of music. I remember going to the music stores with him and he would pull cd’s for me “Do you know this? (Carole King… Tapestry) have you heard of them? (Bread) oh I love this…(Jim Croce’s.. I have to say I love you in a song)” we would walk down the aisles of every section… it was like homework for me. He gave me a little at a time and when I was ready for more he would give me a whole new list. “There’s so many styles… study it all, don’t limit yourself.” – I would leave the store with a wide variety with anything from Tchikovsky’s Nutcracker to Queen. When we got home or in the car we would listen to it. Some songs would weaken him and touch his heart while others would make him sing and dance!! He was always teaching me and I am so thankful for all of his lessons in both music and life. – this is what came to my mind when I first heard “Much Too Soon.” I love this style of music and I can appreciate it because of you. I love you MJ

I remember when Teddy and I were at Encore listening to KYHU. We both knew it wasn’t my Uncle. He stopped working on it because (and I quote) “it didn’t sound enough like Michael. Michael doesn’t swing like that.” He also said he was only working on the Cascio records in hopes that he would eventually be given a “real Michael Jackson song.” As he knows, I never agreed with that logic. I’ll never forget when Teddy called me telling me, “I’m so excited, I finally got a ‘Michael record.’ It’s called Hollywood Tonight and it’s him.”

Frank hurt and betrayed my Uncle years ago, so when I learned about Eddie I wasn’t completely shocked. The names are different but the story’s the same. People taking advantage of my Uncle and now his legacy. I wish Oprah would have asked about the ridiculous amount these FAKE songs were sold to the estate for.

There’s many MJ vocal impersonators. Some better than others. But there is only ONE Michael Jackson. Deceptively merging shady vocals with MJ samples (from prior MJ records) will never fool me. Why they would ignore the obvious, look the other way and rush a suspicious track that was NEVER on my Uncle’s radar is beyond me. I’m disgusted, disappointed and saddened. And before the media starts to smear our name, just remember we are COMMITTED (as our Uncle Michael always knew) to protect his name and his amazing legacy he worked his whole life for. We have nothing to gain and we know they will try to drag our name through the mud. But we know how much he valued his legacy and his fans. And cheating either is unacceptable. “Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons”

They should only release songs that everyone KNOWS are my Uncle (at the very least). No one questioned the vocal of “This is It”. And no one is questioning the vocals on majority of the upcoming songs on the “Michael” album either. But there are songs slated to appear that are very questionable. If sonically there are deep questions. And there is NO tangible evidence to prove otherwise, than it doesn’t belong. PERIOD. My Uncle’s legacy isn’t a toy to be played with.

“HOLD MY HAND” was the last song my uncle Michael every played to me in person. He was SO PROUD OF IT. I’ll never forget that smile he had on his face as the song played through the speakers (in his room) at the Palms Hotel in Vegas. After the song was over, he asked me what I honestly thought of it. I told him it was a worldwide number one song and that it was going to be a huge. He was so happy to hear that.
I did give the song one slight criticism though. I told my uncle that he needed to be singing more in the chorus and at the end of the song… lol. I said that we (the fans) would want to hear his voice more. 🙂
“Hold my Hand” will be officially released tomorrow, November 15th. I’m definitely excited to buy it as soon as it becomes available knowing that the moment I play it, I will instantly remember the day my uncle first played it to me. It’s these memories of him that I hold on to and cherish with all my heart. Words can’t express how much I love and miss my uncle Michael.

MJJC:
About Cascio Tracks: How can you be so sure that the voice in the tracks is not real? Do you have any evidence to support that besides your own ears? Did you guys seek out experts to analyze the tape and having forensic evidence? If you believe the tracks were fake, why did you not take legal action? Did you talked to Eddie Cascio or any member of the Cascio family about the tracks before or after the album fiasco? Do you tried to reach out each other and hear both side of opinion and tried to sort thing out? Why did you feel you had to involve the public by bringing the fight on twitter? Do you take some responsibility for the major division this has created within the fan community? Do you reckon, some will FOREVER question the veracity of every new project?

Taj Jackson:
That’s a very sore subject, the Cascio Tracks. But just know, A LOT went on behind the scenes before things went public and plenty of time before the “Michael” track list was even finalized. I really shouldn’t say anymore otherwise I might say things I’ll later regret. 🙂
